Scammers / Phishing what ever these low lives need to get a life and bugger off. Just wish they had the guts to show their face.

Exactly same thing happened to me today from same person

Same deal about wanting to buy my car for his son. Said his name was George Sidii.

So now this person has my email address, phone number and full name. I'm worried!! Any tips on what to do? I called paypal who said there was nothing to worry about (although I don't think they properly understood my query).

Had three messages from 61428465117 about our car advertised on Carsales.

Included emails

morrisamatos2013@gmail.com txt messaged me responding to an add on carsales.com. His number did not show up on the text but his name automatically registered as "mukinduri" which is a place in KENYA. (it registered like scam numbers do with a presaved identity/contact). He asked about the condition of the car and if it was still for sale. After lots of discussion regarding the car he states he has always wanted one, his friend has one which he has always wanted to drive (why hasnt he yet then) and mentioned hes in the defence force and overseas in afghanastan at present. He would loved to have come and test drive the car but unfortunately he cant. Hes more then happy to pay the asking price even though it was mentioned we were happy to negotiate (no one pays the asking price) he didnt want any further pics, didnt ask specifics about the car and gave a lot of information but with little detail. He was happy to just take my work for it (no one does that usually) and said hed arrange for a courier to collect the car.... the catch was... he didnt have internet banking access ( if he has access to internet to email and internet for PayPal then you have access to internet banking in my opinion!). All he needed was my paypal address and full name and would happily cover the cost for courier and paypal fees. I mentioned my partner always worked for the government.... as a police officer!!! and told him based on all the above reasons i suspected this was a scam. I googled his email address and found another complaint on this site. From the beginning the conditions were the money would process in my bank account before he would even know where the car was.... i leirterated this to him in my friendly email and am still waiting on a responce! Lots of little tell tale signs so be carefull people. Great work on this site helped me back up my suspicions alot!

Hi guys same thing happened to me after putting my bike up on gumtree. received a text  From the above number and then wanted to contact through email Mitchell Morrison@hotmail.com.    He said he was from Alice Springs NT.  When I got on google maps I was not surprised to find a house on the address where his business was supposed to be.What a dick.  Thanks guys

Hi there, I received the same message. Wow!! this kids will have that many 'surprise' cars for graduating he won't have a place to park them all. Warn all your friends Michael Sayers with email michael.sayers.111@gmail.com

Received a text from a Michael Leitch about buying my boat - sounds like a similar scam tried by others recently - works on an oil rig - needs to pay transport up front - you get the idea!

Same message from this number this is the message I sent backSo you are also known as jay johns Sharon hair and also Julie and Brenda do you think I am a [***] to fall for this. Let me warn you I am a law enforcement officer and I will be chasing you down

Yep just got the Marine Biologist email from:
westainy@gmail.com
about my car.
Never sell a car through PayPal; they promise to pay an inflated "overseas price" but will not pick up to talk due to being out of range at sea or some other B.S.
Got another reply from a couple "Craig and Megan Wright" who had "just left NZ" but wanted to take a car with them at the last minute because of some kind of export perk. Same scam requiring PayPal and not wanting to actually talk

Just got message for" Sent from Andey for my car posted on Gumtree."

andeyroy1000@gmail.com. he want to give me more money than i want for my car.

and all the crap he was telling for buying my car. want to pay me asap.

fortunately i googled his email id and got here.


Thanks Guys.

Yup - this [***] now calls himself Sandra James, tried to scam me for paypal payment for my car through GUMTREE. Surely other people have alerted Gumtree to this scam - yet there is no mention of it in their "help" section... Email address he's using is meandmypet611@hotmail.com

Hi all, Received a text message in response to an ad on gumtree today:
Sent from: Tana
Hi, i will like to know the firm price and condition of the car.Pls email me directly on (tmans278@live.com) for quicker response.Tana
My wife responded with an email and got the following:

Thanks for the mail..I will like to know few things about this sales? What is the reason for selling it? when last was it serviced as well.Am ok with the price and the condition,am buying it for my vacation,because i'll be coming soon from our rig.I'm a petroleum project engineer on a rig offshore..I am indeed ok with the purchase and i would have asked my courier agent to come and help me pay in cash,but due to the terms and condition of there services they don't help in paying on behalf of someone for security reasons.. I will be paying you through PayPal the safe and easy way to pay online.. Kindly get back to me with your PayPal details(name and email address) so i can proceed with the payment, but If you don't have a PayPal account you can easily set up one just log on to www.paypal.com and sign up as its very easy.. I will contact the courier agent who will come to pick it up also will sign the transfer papers and deliver it in my place.
Await your reply.

Tana
Having heard about this she responded with: Sorry no go – You are trying to rip us off.

Get a
real job you guys!

Received 3 text messages in 1 day within the time of posting, under the name of Sandra and Brenda asking me to contact them on a number of emails. As I thought this was legit at the time I replied to the first email in regards to the price, within the hour I had received a reply asking my reason for sale and if there is any issues with the car, following to this I received a further email saying he was working offshore as a sailor and was unable to reply due to a lack of phone reception. The email I received was around 3 paragraphs long explaining the reason why he wanted the car which was for his sons graduation of At a Darwin University and that he wanted to ship the car over to Darwin. This triggered alarm bells and I thought I would try to search up some history in regards to the phone number and here it is with hundreds of different issues with very simular responses as myself have received.

I had the same phone number text me within 2 hours of the car being put up on Gumtree. Asking to email the following.

Brenda - brendanderson1000@gmail.com

and then the next day withing 2 hours of the ad going up on carsales.com

Michael Craig - mcraig353@gmail.com

Of course I was annoyed by this stage, and then a little pissed, so I decided to screw with him a little. Created a new email of my own and started back and forth. Same scam, please pay by Paypal and we work away, blah blah blah. They then try and get the $450-$750 out of you by asking you to pay a western union bill for the courier. I mean they could come up with a better story couldn't they? Someone who speaks better English to proof read their emails if they are trying to pretend to be in Australia posing as Aussie Rig workers.

Carsale.com have not replied to any complaints about this. I have had so many people tell me how this happens allll the time.

I got exactly the same email from tmans287@live.com.
What is wrong with people! Feel sorry for the people who get sucked into these scams

The scam is that the "buyer" agrees to pay by Paypal and actually deposits the money in your account.  You can see it there.  He then arranges for an agent to collect the car/boat/caravan and at the precise moment you are allowing the agent to collect the car/boat/caravan, the scammer lodges a non delivery dispute with Paypal, which follows its protocol and refunds his money immediately.  You have no money and no car/boat/caravan.

Sometimes he asks for you to pay the transport agent and add a few thousand to the Paypal invoice.

then you have no money and have paid the transport cost of someone stealing your car/boat/caravan.

Received a call from this number asking me send money via western union before he could pick my car up as advertised on Ebay!!! NOT HAPPENING CHAMP!!! don't trust this number or any of it email messaging "ITS A SCAM".....Bill Owen or Steven Parker what ever your name is...
